Roskam 'snaps back' to warmongering against Iran

My congressman Peter Roskam (IL-6) never tires of warmongering against Iran. He's add it again, introducing legislation backed by the most vociferous war hawks in Congress, to blow up the 5+1 Iran nuclear deal, the 2015 agreement which likely prevented war with Iran. The rest of the world community, with exception of Israel and Saudi Arabia, breathed a collective sigh of relief when the agreement not only prevented war, but began the critical process of normalizing relations with Iran, a stalwart opponent of al Qaida and other strains of Sunni extremism which inflicted the 911 attacks against the country Roskam is supposed to be representing. But Roskam takes his orders from the Israel and Saudi Arabia lobby which demand that the US lead the effort to weaken, if not destroy the democratically elected Iranian government simply to preserve Israeli and Saudi hegemony in the Middle East.

Roskam's January 18 constituent email consists entirely of an article from internet news site Axios, positively gushing that Roskam's legislation, co-authored with arch neo-conservative and Iraq war supporter Liz Cheney (yes, Dick's daughter), is much harsher than the bi-partisan effort offered by Republican Bob Corker and Democrat Ben Cardin. Axios reporter Jonathon repeatedly proclaims how the Roskam/Cheney bill will 'snap back' at any effort by Iran to preserve its sovereignty in the face of utterly threatening and irresponsible demands. The other co-signers of the Iran agreement, China, UK, France and China, appalled at Trump's longstanding demand to blow up this war saving deal, now have to contend with a radical faction of Congress, lead by Roskam, threatening its utterly counter-productive demise.

This November, voters in the Illinois Sixth should remind Roskam his paychecks are signed by Uncle Sam, not Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and Saudi strongman Salman bin Abdulaziz Saud.
